Grammy-nominated singer-song-writer K.Flay has debuted a new song to promote the upcoming third entry to the film franchise Tomb Raider (2018), starring Oscar-winner Alicia Vikander as Lara Croft. The artist elaborates via The Hollywood Reporter:

"I wrote "Run for Your Life" in a hotel room in Johnson City, Tennessee, a few hours before my show that night. I think the frantic energy of touring found its way into the track.

This track was a new challenge for me — writing a song from a perspective outside my own, trying to capture the spirit and energy of a film I hadn’t seen in full yet. (PS I’ve of course seen it now and it’s awesome)," - K.Flay

The song was soon confirmed to appear in the film by director Roar Uthaug, although the likelihood is that it will accompany the end credits. Lara Croft: Tomb Raider (2001) and Lara Croft: Tomb Raider - The Cradle of Life (2003) both saw the release of dedicated various artists compilation soundtracks but there is no indication of the same for Tomb Raider (2018).
